Chapter 14 - Infiltrating The Metropolitan Club Fundraising Gala
The grand ballroom of the Metropolitan Club was filled with crystal light, polished marble, and the quiet clink of expensive champagne glasses.
New York’s most powerful politicians, corporate titans, and media moguls walked the floor in tailored tuxedos and designer gowns.
Senator Richard Vance stood near the center stage, holding a glass of scotch as he laughed with a group of high-ranking defense contractors.
The heavy double oak doors of the ballroom opened, and Elena Van Doren stepped onto the red carpet, flanked by two handsome security guards.
The room instantly fell silent, every head turning to look at the woman who had single-handedly destroyed Sterling Capital two weeks ago.
Senator Vance’s smile vanished instantly, his face turning pale as he recognized the sapphire pendant glistening against Elena’s collarbone.
Elena walked directly up to the Senator, her posture regal, her steps confident, her gray eyes locking onto his with absolute calm.

“Good evening, Senator,” Elena said smoothly, taking a glass of sparkling water from a passing waiter’s silver tray.
“I thought I should attend your gala in person to deliver my personal regards regarding your daughter’s upcoming court trial.”
